wearing wind chimes like perfume

I heard wind chimes today on my walk, but saw nothing but a sugar maple and a house with flaking paint. The wind was up, and I thought,

Somewhere there's a woman who wears wind chimes dangling from her ears and wrists and maybe from each twisting braid, if she has braids. A spirit wind surrounds her all the time, so the chimes are ringing all the time. She changes them all the time--some days silvery tones, some days heavy porcelain ones--they have colors and create an aura, just like perfume.

Cats wear purring, and a lovely sound it is.

I did know someone once who wore bells on her ankles, so there was always a faint chiming sound when she walked by - exactly like aural perfume!

A distinctive sound, like a distinctive scent!

That's a bit spooky... I wrote something very similar only the other day: a sound - as if woman wore windchimes hanging from her ears...

Lovely image isn't it? :)

Freaky! Same thought jumping into multiple brains. That's zeitgeist, I suppose! Yes, it is very alluring.

And ones of different woods. Some go tok, tok, and some go click. The bone ones make a different click. The ones made of strung phalanges make a low rattle that curls spines.

Nice! That would make a lovely story.

I'm admiring (and yearning after!) your word counts these days. I'm at a point where any emotional setback i suffer in the day absolutely kills my urge to write--and that fact is causing me some degree of self doubt.

But yeah, I'd like to use a character like this in a story.

Energy and creativity are eluding me these days--but one day!
